What do you get when two hot-blooded, artistic, people are in the same room? Well, if it's DIVINE DESIRE by author Audrey Carlan, you get Mila Mercado and Atlas Powers, two of the sexiest most well-paired yoga instructors to come out of Lotus House. All that Mila the artist really wants to do is to work on her craft. Seeing a subject in most everyone, she yearns to focus on doing what comes naturally to her full time, to pour out her passion in her painting and share it with the world. In the meantime, though, she's busy as a yoga instructor at Lotus House. Well, that, and fighting her passion for Lotus House's newest yogi, Atlas Powers. When Atlas suggests teaching an, erm, unorthodox form of yoga as part of the Lotus House line-up, Mila is tapped to attend and report back to her bosses. But what Mila mostly gets out of the class is a major case of the hots for him, and a wicked idea that will have them spending lots of time together. Audrey's Lotus House series has so many things going for it. I have come to understand things about yoga that I did not know before, and her inclusion of the practices of yoga make for an earthiness and sensuality that add so much to these books. Mila and Atlas are a fiery mix of artistic temperment that combust to make one heck of a hot couple. Beyond the physical, though, both are working through things from their past, and trying to make their way to their happy despite it. When those ghosts from the past come home to roost, Mila and Atlas have their work cut out for them, and it's an emotional road that the two have to travel to come out on the other side. Audrey has once again written a story that simultaneously grabs you by the heartstrings and heats things up, and it's one that I thoroughly enjoyed. 5 no-question stars for DIVINE DESIRE, as expected. And, based on the little snippet at the end of this book, we're going to love LIMITLESS LOVE, the next book in the series, so if you haven't read the first books, now's the time to get caught up. Fans of Audrey should move these books right to the top of their TBRs, and get reading!

Another outstanding book by Audrey Carlan, this time following Mila Mercado and Atlas Powers. I've been gifted a Kindle copy of this book and leaving a review is voluntary. Meet veteran yoga instructor Mila Mercado. Mila was asked by the managers of Lotus House to attend one of the new class that had just started and asked to report back to the studio. Feeling that Mila had no idea that the truly over-confident, hot, ruggedly sexy newbie Atlas Powers was going to teach way more than just the very controversial and most erotic form of yoga. Now meet Lotus House's new instructor Atlas Powers. Atlas only really has two passions in life. His first is his music career and the second is to get the ever so sexy and steamy by-the-book Mila Mercado. Atlas decides to teach yoga by day and also tries to work on his passion by night. Well that's until the fiery Mila walks into his first class and suddenly gives the term desire a whole new world dimension. This is book three which gives into the most wicked and hottest tale of love and lust. Mila and Atlas are both two struggling artists. Both Milas and Atlas are trying to make their true passions Art and Music come true. The only one thing gets in the way; well until both Mila and Atlas stop fighting long enough to set the sheets on fire. The one thing both Atlas and Mila have in common is their day jobs teaching yoga. The yoga studio at Lotus House which has a divine desire that neither of Atlas and Mila can avoid. Can Mila learn to trust and learn to love one man? Will Atlas get his big break in the music industry? Can both Mila and Atlas lean and also help each other find their way. What will it take for both of them to give in to their desire for each other? Can they find happy ever after??? Namaste
